Grumble ...
The above will be the Changelog of this patch.
I don't think that is what you'd like to see.

Probably, Changelog should end here.

These background and change history should go out of the Changelog area. 

Please have a look at Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst,
especially the section "The canonical patch format".

Well, the hash after this change (1de0bc83d76e) does not match the
one in the diff I suggested (fbe9f8d35366).  Did you make the change
by hand?
